Chapter 1007
Brennen instantly swiveled his head towards Marcus, “So, you’re here. I guess I had to invite your wife to get your
attention”
Cornelia suddenly realized that Brennen’s true target had always been Marcus, and she was just a bait to lure him
out
Marcus shot Brennen a cold glance and moved over to Cornelia, pulling her into his side. ‘Did he hurt you?” he
asked
Cornelia shook her head, “How did you get here?”
Marcus gently patted her head, “We’ll talk about it later. For now, you need to leave. Ayden is waiting for you

“I want to stay with you” In Cornelia’s eyes, Brennen was a man completely devoid of familial affection
Well, that wasn’t entirely accurate. It wasn’t that Brennen lacked familial affection, it was just that he never saw
Marcus as family To Brennen, Marcus was disposable if he chose to hurt Marcus, it would be brutal. Cornelia didn’t
want to leave Marcus alone in this predicament. She wanted to stand by his side, if he would allow her
Marcus laughed lightly. “Trust me on this. This is between me and that bastard. I can handle it. Don’t worry”
Cornelia wanted to say something, but Marcus cut her off, “I don’t want you involved in this.”
With Marcus being so straightforward, Cornelia didn’t push it. “Alright, I’ll be waiting at the door. Just give me a sign
if you need me.”
Her simple words always had a way of softening him. “Okay…”
“I’ll go now Remember. I’m right outside” Just as Cornelia turned to leave, Brennen’s chilling voice echoed behind
her
He sneered, “Marcus, what are you afraid of? Afraid that you’re not the same person as Jeremy? Afraid of your little
secret of stealing your brother’s wife being exposed? Afraid of the truth about you having her grandmother killed
coming to light? Afraid she’ll leave you when she learns the truth?
“Don’t worry, this woman is just a pleasure–seeker. She’s eager to be the wife of the president of Hartley Group
Even if all the evidence is laid bare before her, she won’t believe that you’re the worst one”
Comelia spun around, ready to retort, but was met with Marcus deep, abyss–like gaze. He didn’t say anything, but
she could feel his pain. “Jeremy…”
“Leave,” he said.
“No matter what others say to drive a wedge between us, I’ll always believe in you,” Cornelia said.

Marcus evidently didn’t expect her to say that. He paused for a moment, then smiled, “I know”
As Cornelia began to walk away, a loud bang echoed behind her. She whirled around to see a deep wound on
Brennen’s forehead, blood streaming down his face, painting a horrifying and eerie picture.
Brennen wiped the blood off his face, but he was still smiling “Never thought you, of all people, would care so much
about this woman.”
Marcus icy voice reached Cornelia’s ears again. “Insult me, and I can let it slide. But if you dare to speak ill of her
again, I’ll make sure you never speak another word”
Brennen smirked, “And what if I do? What can you do to me? Kill me? I’m not afraid of death. If you want to take
my life with yours, I won’t care
Marcus retorted, “If you’re so eager to die, I’d be happy to oblige!”
